Flores - San Mateo: A Taste of Trendy Mexican Cuisine

Updated - Visited on the Valentine’s Day. The server was pretty much messed up. They shuffled some orders with other tables. It was hard to find the server to order as well. Overall food expense was good. Much better than expected by a their lower reviews! Now, this is one of my favorite places in town. I was a little bit hesitant to go to this place because of lower reviews, but it turned out it was good The service was very good, which wasn't like the reviews, and the inside of the restaurant was surprisingly nice. Good vibes for families and couples and any occasion My dog is also having a great time inside the restaurant; it is very dog-friendly!

Our group visited Flores San Mateo and it was a nice time. The food was better than my last visit but the service was on the slow side and they really weren't able to accommodate our largee group. The billing was inconvenient and for an establishment they arranged their furniture for larger groups they should have a system that allows for separate checks. The atmosphere was good and I really enjoyed the chips.

Flores San Mateo is a truly delightful spot that delivers fantastic, fresh Mexican flavors. We were thoroughly impressed with everything we tried, from the perfectly seasoned guacamole that was clearly made in-house, to the cheesy, comforting quesadilla and the generously loaded nachos. I especially appreciated the robust and flavorful veggie bowl, showing they have great options for everyone. Additionally, the non-alcoholic drink I ordered was expertly crafted and incredibly refreshing. It's a wonderful, reliable restaurant for authentic and high-quality Mexican food.

Nicely decorated restaurant, located in the Hillsdale Mall, serving elevated Mexican food. Everything we had was well-cooked and beautifully presented. All three sauces with the chips were delicious, and complemented the margarita perfectly. Fast and friendly service. Great place to hang out with friends!

Good food, good flavors, pricey and portions are not huge but it makes for a good meal. Tried four different tacos and the fish taco and the carne asada taco are the absolute winners here. Like, really, order those. Guac was also good but very small portion, with plenty of home made tortilla chips. Rating service as low as our server was a bit pushy to get us started with appetizers the moment we seated and she did not take well that we asked for a bit of time.

The food was excellent, flavourful, and plated nicely. Our original server was incredibly attentive and catered to every need. Unfortunately, her shift was over halfway through our meal, and thenl new server was nowhere near as qualified. My old fashioned was done nicely, and the cherries were very tasty! The duck enchiladas, were very nice, Fish tacos need a bit more seasoning The crab tostadas were fresh and so good! The civeche was perfect. Chips and salsa are always a winner, but the guacamole was a huge miss. All in all, a good experience.

Flores in San Mateo has an upscale feel with a spacious setup right in Hillsdale Mall. The vibe is energetic and lively. The tacos were excellent, and the chicken salad was a pleasant surprise with great flavor. The veggie quesadilla was also worth trying.

Fun atmosphere for this upscale Mexican restaurant. There is a full bar, tall tables or short tables. We ordered the Mixed Plate for 2 which has chicken, steak and prawns. Came with rice and beans. My only complain is that it came with only 3 corn tortillas. When the name of the dish says it’s for 2 people, how about giving us 4 tortillas instead of 3? Other than that, food was good. Parking is at the mall parking lot/structure.
